CRIMINAL QUEERS
Chris Vargas & Eric A. Stanley | 2017 | USA | 70’

Follow Yoshi, Joy, Susan and Lucy as they fiercely read everything from the Human Rights Campaign and hate crimes legislation to literature on the non-profitization of social movements. Criminal Queers visualizes a radical trans/queer struggle against the prison industrial complex and towards a world without walls. Remembering that prison breaks are both a theoretical and material practice of freedom, this film imagines what spaces might be opened up if crowbars, wigs, and metal files become tools for transformation. Criminal Queers is a film about the possibility of collective liberation from the multiple ways our hearts, genders, and desires are confined. With a brief cameo appearance from Angela Davis!

HOMOTOPIA
Chris Vargas & Eric A. Stanley | 2007 | USA | 27’

The feature film will be accompanied by an older short piece that chronicles Yoshi and his radical queer gang’s adventures, this time exploring sex and resistance, exposing the trouble with gay marriage and homonormativity, dismantling conservatism and the state and undoing the Empire – all while serving zesty sass as well as crushing and fierce realness.
